While we were having a roadtrip we stopped there and had our breakfast. There are several picnic tables. Beautiful spot to rest. There is a small parking lot. There is also a restroom, but needs a bit cleaning.

Beautiful lake and easily accessible. Decent fishing. Gets real busy on weekends in the summer. Need to come early to secure a dock if you want one.

Ive been going to Donner Lake since I was a small child. Its a lot more crowded than it was then. Weekends are very crowded and now that there are so many people around, and houses built it can be a challenge to get a parking spot. Its a beautiful lake though and everyone should visit the nearby Donner Memorial Museum at least once to learn the history of the area and the Donner Party.

Beautiful views the train runs along the ridge above and the views make awsome pictures, the sunrises and sunsets can be spectacular.The clear cold water is refreshing on hot days can be a little numbing on cooler days even with a wetsuit, good fishing certain times of year. There is a boat launch. Paddleboarding is a fun thing to do along with kayaking or canoes but the busy days theres too many motorized boats making wakes. Theres not alot of parking so when it gets busy people block roads and driveways where they shouldnt park. They should be mindful of the locals who take care of this place year round. Its very clean please keep it that way. There are bathrooms and trash receptacles all over so please if you visit too clean up and leave it like you found it.

I liked Lake Donner. Super cold water, but also transparent, quiet, immersed in natural beauty. And we had a nice family picnic here.

Great location. Small ramp for SUP/KAYAK, etc. Picnic tables, parking lot, and street parking. Public restroom that altho is not pretty, is very clean. Lots of shade. Floating dock you can swim to for laying in the sun. Very casual, simpler & easier than going to the State beach. Clean, ample trash bins, and great spots to fish. We took our 3 yo for a picnic and it was very easy!

Gorgeous in the fall. My only experience was in the fog but Id never seen the fog make any body of water look that good. Seems like a pretty special spot.

Love Shoreline Park. It is serene, peaceful, quiet and has plenty of shade, has BBQ grills, picnic tables, and is dog friendly. It is one of my favorite places for R&R. Can sit here all day enjoying the scenic mountain views and watching the various water sports. The lake is beautiful with very clear water. Will be coming here more often. Weekends are usually more crowded so come early.

This is a great place to stop and play in the snow with kids. They have small slopes for sleds in winter and public restrooms year round. Plenty of all size parking spots. Eva and big rigs

This is a great place to launch your SUPs, a nice gently downslope from the parking area to the ramp. There is no vehicle access to the ramp though, its only for non-motorized watercraft. There are restrooms, trash bins and picnic tables at this spot too. Lots of people like to fish here. Its not the most scenic part of the lake for paddling, but its free and easy access!
